Q: Hi,

Here's the question. I've been with my bf for almost 3 yrs now.. and as far as I think.. it seems to be going pretty well..We have even talked about getting married etc...Anyways.. I asked my bf a long while ago how come in all this time I have never been able to come over to your house.. ie: see it or hang out there.. He says that he lives in a small shack kinda condo and is embarrassed to take me there.. Mind u he's seen my place and all. and I'm not ashamed to bring him there.. He comes over all the time.. I just egnored it and thought ok whatever.. then I realized his cousin and his family come over all the time and he has no issues with it so why me.. and secondly.. he always says to me to make more of an effort to get along with his mom... which I try but it works both ways too. not one sided.. and Thanks Giving is coming up.. how come she invited his cousin's family and not me.. I am so confused.. what do I think.. what do I do? does she really like me? does he really want me mixing in with his family? Does he really see a future for us? or just playing me along giving me high hopes... any ideas? I'm soo stressed..
I understand that it's fishy that he's not letting you see his house, as this could be signs of a double life. However I think that it's a good sign that he wants for you to get along with his mother, to me that shows that he wants for you to be included in family events, and rules out the fact that he's living a double life. Guys want to do things to impress their girlfriends, and he may be afraid of you judging him based on what his house looks like, as silly as it sounds after three years of dating.

You really do need to work out these issues with his mom, for most men their mother is an extremely important person in their lives. When his mother says nasty things to you, put a smile and just ignore it. If she says something to you that you find insulting don't say anything back, I know it's hard to do but fighting with his mother is really bad news.

If you are curious as to why she didn't invite you to Thanksgiving, why don't you call her? Do you not know her phone number? Call her and tell her that you know that the two of you don't get along and you think it's time to put your differences behind you, you've spoken to her son and it bothers him that the two most important women in his life aren't getting along very well, and ask her how come she didn't invite you to their house for Thanksgiving. Let her know that the two of you are both major parts of his son's life, and if she can tolerate you for Thanksgiving it would probably mean A LOT to her son.

Best of luck and if you decide to follow my advice, give me feedback and let me know if I helped you at all.

HI hun.. it's not that we don't get along.. I hardly talk to her.. and when I do its so akward.. try to make an effort to call her etc. but it goes both ways.. I can't believe in 3 yrs whenever some holiday or what not comes a long she doesn't think to ask me ie: call me or tell his son ie: my bf to call me to invite me over.. I don't wish bad upon her and really would love for us to be closer.. but I dunno what else I can do really.. I'm confused if she really likes me or not.. of if he's being sincere to me about all this and the future.. cause if we get married does that mean I will never see his home? that does seem strange to me.. I dunno what to do..
